RW 202 - Intermediate Academic Reading and Writing II

The Intermediate Academic Reading and Writing II core course is the second of six integrated course sequence that develops needed academic skills within the context of different academic areas with built-in academic vocabulary workshops. The reading strand focuses on using examples, understanding italics, the introduction in a text, explanations in the next sentence, scanning for general and specific information, interpreting graphs, and understanding cause and effect. The writing strand develops critical writing strategies such as organizing a paragraph of analysis, writing a summary, and paragraphs of comparison. Forming an opinion, previewing figures and tables, using simple graphic organizers for showing similarities and differences, and finding specific support are critical thinking strategies highlighted in this course. Test-taking strategies skills include checking your work, paraphrasing and finding unstated details. This course is required for program completion.
